Donald Duck Will Have To Fly Northward To Face Molestation Charges

DONALD DUCK WILL HAVE TO FLY NORTHWARD TO FACE TRIAL ON MOLESTATION CHARGES.

A Walt Disney Co. employee in Donald Duck costume is accused of grabbing a Pennsylvania woman’s breast while she was vacationing at Walt Disney’s EPCOT Center in Florida in 2008.

April Magolon, 27, of Upper Darby, Pa. had approached Donald for an autograph and was holding a child. She claims that the incident ruined her vacation and left her with “post-traumatic stress disorder, headaches, nausea, flashbacks, and a digestive problem,” according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Disney sought to have the case either dismissed or moved to Florida, but U.S. District Judge John R. Padova denied those requests last week. The judge wrote that Magolon’s doctors and her fiancé are located in Pennsylvania and that Disney was financially more capable of handling the the long-distance litigation.

The plaintiff is seeking $50,000 in damages for negligence, battery and infliction of emotional distress.
